The property is in good repair externally with re-pointed exposed stonework to the front and rendered stonework to the rear, and mullioned oak window frames with shutters. The oak has all been treated and the oak shutters are fully functional. The roof and guttering were replaced in 1999.

There is a gravelled driveway with parking for 3-4 cars along the front façade of the house; there is also unrestricted parking on the roadway outside the property.

The garage adjoins the house and is of full height, with up-and-over door, power, light, and water supply.

There is a garden of over half an acre, laid mainly to lawn, with small vegetable plot, many established fruit trees – figs, cherries, plums, apples – and vines of grapes and passion fruit. Bordered by mature trees and hedging, there’s plenty of room for a swimming pool!

A wooden decked area with pergola provides somewhere for alfresco dining, with grape vines planted to provide shade from the heat of the summer sun.

Two outbuildings – formerly piggeries – are currently used for wood storage, but they adjoin the house and could easily be converted into an attractive summer kitchen and barbecue area.

The property is flanked by fields on either side – currently three sheep on one, and crops on the other. Sunflowers are planted every two to three years and are a sight to behold!

There is access onto the property from the public road outside at one end of the plot, also further access via double gates from the lane which runs at the rear of the plot. Nearby are electricity, telephone and water services in case the buyer should wish to divide the plot for a new property or properties.

Services:

The house is served by mains water and electricity, and there is also an old well on the property which could possibly be opened up to provide private water.

Hot water provided by electric tank (new in 2001) in garage.

Drainage by septic tank (new approx 10 years ago).

Taxes:

The taxe foncière and taxe d’habitation (includes TV licence) this year were €397 and €143 per annum respectively.
